Heard some passing reference this AM on M&H that the Bulls are saving up cap space for when LeBron is a free agent again (2015?).

I thought to myself, "bleech." Call me King Meatball or worse, but I wouldn't want him on the Bulls. I couldn't root for them.

There is zero chance he will come here, but I wouldn't mind having the best player in the NBA on the team.

No, I could not stand it. I am King Meatball. Eat me, Burncream.

LeBron on the Bulls...

uh...yeah! Of course I'd take that. All is immediately forgiven. If we can forgive Dennis Rodman, LeBron is a small thing.

A lot of people suddenly overlooked all of Lebron's flaws because he won. I think we could too.

I'm sure you-plural could. But I'm a very bitter man who can hold a grudge pretty much forever.

30 years old and 12 years in the league when he could get here

You will be paying 25 year old Lebron prices and getting 30+ year old Lebron production. The first few years would be great. The last few you would hate him again

Lebron is a tank. Look at the numbers a 35 year old Kobe was putting up this year. Lebron will still be able to play at that level or maybe even better.

Lebron will NOT be better at 35. he has yet to endure any major injury and dedicate to coming back.

Maybe he does it this offseason, but he has not developed a low post game. No doubt he has the talent to, but his footwork in the post is terrible. His post game could give him some really easy baskets he will need as he gets older.

Sure, would love him in chicago, as long as he stops flopping.

I don't want him on the Bulls. I want the Bulls to beat him.

I suppose if we could trade Rose for Lebron, that would still leave us with one gaping vag. I could accept that.

I never said he would be better at age 35, I said he would probably be better than an age 35 Kobe.

during game 7, when Ginobli put his elbow into Lebrons throat and Lebron flopped a few feet as if it was a forecful blow, you can see even the Miami fans laughing at him.

Dont want to be laughing at my own guys.

he's not gonna develop a low post game.... right now he can just drive through the lane, and the obvious evolution of his game will be working on that jumpshot.... so unless you want him to do the mj thing and post up into a * fake fake turnaround fadeaway jumper * i mean, why would he start playing physical down-low post basketball when he's accumulating years/mileage?

his jumper will decide how great the legend ends up being once he's not the most physically gifted athlete in the league.

If Hitler could average a triple double I could stomach him in a Bulls uniform.

No-brainer. The answer is yes.

Edit: But as DB said, there ain't a chance in hell of it happening so the discussion is moot.

Total oversimplification. If you cheer for Jerry Reinsdorf, then yes, any personnel, regardless of disdain, would help "the organization" (Jerry Reinsdorf) win a championship, and thus make you happy.

If you cheer for the Bulls based on their representation of Chicago and also grow attached to the personalities on the Bulls, then you would probably want personalities you like and relate to. This is sports, not a business deal. And these are not robots, they are people. Fuck Lebron.

What you say here is very unpopular on this board but I agree completely. The normal response is "As long as he wins I don't care what he does".
